I havn't had the water tested, I will have that happen. It just sucks I killed 3 exsisting evergreen bushes, a new maple and new oak. Someone said it might be a rust algea or something in the well water. He suggested I flush my well with bleach to kill it. I'll have it tested early spring, I don't want any of my other plants to die.
